Hi everyone,
First off i'd like to apologise for starting a third thread about what will be my first saber, I don't know why I didn't merge the first two, but anyway i'll just let them die?
I have a new custom design now which will include some shroud work:
Now I should be ordering parts by the end of the week, pending an ebay selling going well. I just wanted to make sure that I had everything for the hilt only at this stage.
So here are parts
-Hilt style 2
-.75" Male / Female extension
-MPS Pommel style 5
-MHSV1 Blade Holder style 25
-MPS insert style 13
-MPS Clip
-8-32 x 1/4" socket head (for covertec wheel)
-Machinned button for covertec clip
-8-32 x .3" anodized thumb screw (blade retention screw)
-Shroud material will come from local supplier, I can get it cheaper than Tim's.
I'm pretty sure I'm only missing some little things, one thing I couldn't find was the c-clip for the pommel cap. I may ask Tim to machine the guarded switch hole and covertec wheel onto the hilt, I just need to know measurements first. I'm hoping the covertec wheel and blade retention screw will be enough to hold the shroud down. I won't be buying a switch yet to save on cost, I am thinking a16mm Anti Vandal Short Momentary Blue Dot Switch, but as this build will start as a stunt, I can't find the same switch as a latching?
A final note the covertec wheel will go just ahead of the pommel threading on the top of my image, so it holding the shroud. The blade retention will go somewhere along the BH to hold the shroud again on top of my render.
I have 3D renders to show the other sides of the saber, but I don't want to distract from the intended purpose of the thread right now, which is making sure I have what I need.
So yeah, do I have everything to build my hilt?
Thanks guys
